With colder weather now well and truly in the northern hemisphere, a good number of motorcyclists are hunkering down for the cold season—either by putting their bikes into storage, or gearing up with thermal apparel. In other parts of the world, however, spring is just arriving, and the motorcycling season is just about to start. This is the case in Australia, where spring is well underway, and summer is expected to come in December.
As such, Australian motorcycle and powersports aficionados are in for a treat, as new bikes, gear, and accessories are hitting the Land Down Under. One good example is Beta’s refreshed 2023 RR model range, all of which have been beefed up to be tougher, faster, and more engaging to ride. The installation of a Kayaba rear shock unit is the key change for these models in 2023; Beta describes this as a significant improvement to the bike's suspension.
